No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any related computational processing.

No.
The device is a headless compression screw used for fracture fixation, reconstruction, osteotomy, and arthrodesis, which are surgical interventions rather than therapeutic treatments in the context of this device. Manufacturing materials include stainless steel and titanium alloy.

No

Explanation: The device is a surgical screw indicated for fracture fixation and reconstruction, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes physical hardware components (screws made of stainless steel and titanium alloy) and their physical characteristics (cannulated, self-drilling/self-tapping, StarDrive recess, threaded head). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device description: The Synthes 4.5 mm and 6.5 mm Headless Compression Screws are implants used for fracture fixation, reconstruction, osteotomy, and arthrodesis of bones. They are physically inserted into the body to stabilize bone structures.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure involving the fixation of bones, not the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Synthes 4.5 mm and 6.5 mm Headless Compression Screws are surgical implants, not IVDs.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. Musgnung:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
